The five elements

The five natural elements each have specific colors that embody them. Different hues of these specific colors can be employed with your Feng Shui House decorating.

• Wood element – Various shades of brown and green
• Water element – Black or blue
• Fire element – Oranges, purples, reds, and dark yellows
• Earth element – Sandy shades, yellows, and light browns -
• Metal element – White, silver, gray, and gold

These five elements are ruled by two cycles – the destructive and productive cycles. In the productive cycle, you will see the water element nourishing the wood element, which could then be used to create the fire element. The earth element is produced by the fire element burning , from which the metal element is formed and then the metal element feeds on to the water element. This cycle goes on just like the circle of life does.
